THREATS

[burrealist]

Hi all, here's an attempt at a revision.  

THREATS
 
Staring at their faces
I know it better be good With a title like "Threats", I think the immediate follow-up should be intense, and at the very most, invasive of our feelings. This intorduction makes your title choice misleading.    
Threats don’t always work
Even though they should So what do you mean here?
 
My glares will scare
My words will astound Following up right here, I think you shouldn't tell us anything at all. Curse at us and make us feel like crap. (They say "show, don't tell".)
My volume will rise, I’m not messing around
 
Time out is soft
Naptime is weak
Intimidation can never sound meek Sports?
 
I want them to know
I’m nobody’s stooge
My wrath should be epic, unforgettable, huge
 
The Earth will tremble
The mountains will rock
Is a year without food, too much
to pick up a sock? So is this about your kids? Kids can be tough.

My overall thought is to be less elusive. I have a general idea what you're saying. I hope this helped you.
